Instruction Manual

I just watched a compassionate, honest account of personal development and family tradition. I relate to many parts of the film. (via The Meming of Life)

By the way, 500th post!

Five Things

I am grateful …

  1. … for the easy way my wife laughs.
  2. … for time spent exploring the desert with my girls, finding sedimentary rocks, rabbit spore, and old golf balls.
  3. … for cherished childhood memories that have grown iconic with age and forgetfulness.
  4. … for windy, sunny days with titanic clouds full of dignity.
  5. … that I am not alone.

I am grateful…

  1. … for time I had this weekend to play with my daughters and reconnect. It’s easy to forget to do.
  2. … that my wife is feeling a bit better. I missed her typical vivacity.
  3. … that I’m not drowning under all the math required by my class this semester.
  4. … for a steady job that provides the necessities of life.
  5. … that my health allows me to enjoy life.

Five Things

  1. I’m thankful that my wife and I have found a way to balance our differing religious beliefs. I have heard about many that haven’t been as fortunate. One thing that helped is the chapter on mixed marriages in Parenting Beyond Belief.
  2. I am grateful for the warm sunshine on my face as I study outside.
  3. I am grateful to be alive.
  4. I am thankful for the time that I’ve been able to spend with my family this long weekend. I had a fun date with my wife and have this holiday to spend a little extra time with my girls.
  5. I am grateful that we will have a new president tomorrow. I hope that it will represent a real improvement in national leadership.

  2. I get to take a class this semester on linear systems theory.
  3. I have a loving family.
  4. I like the people that I work with.
  5. I have so much art so readily available to me.
